Many Oklahomans enjoy hitting the open road on the back of a motorcycle, but if you get into an accident, it can leave you extremely vulnerable. In 2020, there were 1,231 motorbike accidents reported across the state. That year, there were 62 fatal motorbike accidents, and at least 661 people were hurt. Statistics show that riders are much more at risk of being seriously hurt in the event of a crash. In fact, almost 80 percent of motorcycle accidents end in death or serious injury. If you or someone close to you is a rider, you need to understand how important it is to stay safe on the road, as statistics show that riders are almost 28 times more likely to die in an accident and almost four times more likely to be hurt on the road.
